Just got the 2024 Crv EX-L that I ordered in June. Love it. Canyon River Blue, and ordered the Black Honda Mags that the dealer put on for me. And the stereo rocks, around 320 watts with 8 speakers. Everybody that has seen it so far loves the look and interior. It drives and handles very well.
@@misterfifteen1422 not at all no problem, last summer prices were high but I got a good price for my trade-in, so I think it was around 40, I paid almost 38 for the car then when you add the taxes. (With the actual add-ons add about 2.5 more grand) Now I did opt to have them put some optional stuff on the car, because I didn't get the hybrid it came with chrome rims but I wanted the black ones so that cost me $1,800 with installation, then I got door edge guards and the pieces that go on the bottom of the door in case somebody opens their door into yours. I also had A separate company wrap the front end in plastic and had a ceramic coat done to it which cost around two grand or so. I like it The only issues I've had are a rattle from the sunroof when it's open, Honda seems to be lacking on their support I took it to two dealerships, the one said they found a couple of pebbles up there which I think they may have just said they did, It's still did it. Took it to another dealership they could hear the problem and said they couldn't fix it, they recommended me buying an aftermarket air deflector from the dealership and having them install it. What a rip off suggestion that will not work. I also had issues with the vehicle infotainment system dropping Android auto and a dealership and Honda over the phone told me that I needed to do a factory reset, which was no fun, because then you had to reset all the presets and the radio, rearrange all the icons on the infotainment center. This happened like 8 times before January. Then I looked online and found out how to do a reboot as others were having the same problem. Since then it's only happened a couple of times and I could fix the problem quickly without having to go through a factory reset. I guess that's the long version of how much I paid but I thought the other info would help as well.
Hey Zack, This Taha from Saudi Arabia. I must say that you did an outstanding job with the car review! It was packed with emotions and perfectly linked to the three siblings. Your work is fantastic, and I believe you nailed it when you said that the CRV is a car that you don't have to think about every day. Its reliable car. You can just hit the road and go ahead with complete confidence. I absolutely love the consistency factor you highlighted, and your analogy about the old cafe was spot on. You love it because it's reliable and consistent, and that's exactly what the CRV is! In my crazy life, consistency makes all the difference, and your work truly reflects that. Convey my best wishes to the three siblings. Keep up the excellent work, brothern. 🎉👏🏻
4:05 the ex-l actually does have the top trim infotainment. the touring, ex-l and sport-l all have the biggest screen. the ex and the base sport hybrid only have a 7 in screen with buttons.
My best friend comes from a Honda family and I happened to get a used red 2-door Civic when I turned 16. I went to her house to pick her up to drive around and her dad was thrilled to see that I was driving a Honda. I’ve had another Civic since then and my mom has had two CR-Vs so I guess we’re turning into a Honda family, too. My 2024 CR-V EX-L in Canyon River Blue is currently in transit to the dealership. I keep looking at pictures of it because I’m so excited. And now I’ve moved on to watching videos 😂
Great video! Thank you for a wonderful and inspiring review. I just brought my second Honda, a 2024 CRV EX-L a couple of days ago. The color is Platinum Pearl White. It is beautiful!
Good thorough rundown of this car…have to say that rear 3/4 view and C pillar are evoking recollections of the Volvo design aesthetics specifically the big XC90
I want to add to your comment about rear visibility. I just got a 2018 Honda Fit, at this point Im convinced all new cars will have terrible visibility. My 2000 4runner is significantly better than any modern car, sedan or suv. No wonder people keep hitting kids. You cant see out of any new car. I just look at new cars and just see how small the glass is.
I agree. Also no wonder cars cut other cars off more often now. They prbbly cant see whats beside them as much cuz the glass is smaller. Well at least for terrible drivers that is. Good drivers will make the effort to see out their window and protect their cars rather than being careless of others around them.
I really wish they still equipped CRVs, Accords and Civics with N/A 2.4 and 2.0 engines. not to mention manual gearboxes. The 1.5t may have the oomph but I doubt it will last as much as an R20
I question the long-term reliability of these small-displacement high-boost engines, particularly when they're in relatively heavy cars with a transmission that's programmed to select as high a ratio as possible.
@@bwofficial1776 yeah pretty much. I do think the technology and manufacturing side changed from 20 years ago, so maybe they will last a long time, time will tell
Honestly it's kinda weird since their bigger displacement engines actually got better mpgs than these smaller displacement ones. But epa and their goofy rules
Your point is valid and it’s a concern I share. I’ve felt that from the get go in 2017. Honda says it has updated the 1.5 liter engine but it’s still asking a lot out of a small displacement engine in the long term.
nit picks) #1 the wireless charging issue, #2 the backup lights not being LED, #3 lack of push button lay flat buttons for rear seats, #4 CVT is weak. Did they fix the squek which happens if you actually use the sunglasses holder? What does it actually look like in Apple Car Play mode? Like how it's supposed to? Can you add apps to the apple carplay such as dominos? Are DRL LED as well? Can DRL be turned off?
Thanks for your video! CRV is definitely a nice spacious car. I bought my brand new 2015 CRV EX and enjoying its 31 mpg so far. But there was one reliable issue happened on the year 8 that was my driver's side sun visor was broken and cost me over $300 to replace it 😅 Well before that I had owned Toyota camry for 10 years but not a single reliable issue occurred. So based on my experience, I can tell Toyota is more reliable than Honda and that's why I'm thinking buy RAV4 for my next purchase 😊
When you shop between Rav4 and this Honda, be sure to check out the Nissan Rogue. I have the Rogue (2022) and you can save several thousand $$'s when you compare apples to apples between the 3.
I thought with an AWD car you had to put the same size tire and wheel on when changing a tire. I’m assuming the spare is a compact, temporary use only tire. Is that likely to cause any problems for the AWD drivetrain. Thank you, I’m glad to have a spare.
You can’t get aluminum alloys in the EX trim in Canada. The fabric seats are very good and can outlast leather and they don’t crack over time. You have to get the black alloys on the EX trim in Canada of which I’m not a fan.
My Honda dealership said there are no chip shortages at this time, so all the Honda Sensing is avail on the EX-L - as I inquired about that one. Check your dealer
Anyone have this EX-L and can comment on how well (or not) the "wireless" apple carplay/android auto works? I've seen reviews on other vehicles how they don't stay connected during the drive.
Mazda. CX-5 has minimal road noise. Hoping the Rav4 redesign in the near future addresses their road noise issue. Does every Honda CR-V trim have turbo?
CRV's are great, "normal" vehicles that really address the core needs of most consumers. Not too flashy, not too powerful, safe and reliable. It's no wonder so many women gravitate to it, including my wife.
Honda said a few years ago that they were only going to build hybrids. This new CR-V generation would have been perfect to phase that in. It's disappointing that they went from LED rear turn signals back to incandescent. It's also disappointing that they still haven't figured out how to fit a spare tire in the hybrids, something Toyota figured out in the RAV4 hybrid years ago. The CR-V pretty much is the definition of adequate transportation. It just works.
Incandescent is more of a aesthetic choice imo. Honda probably ran out of rnd money because you can tell where they cheaped out and they probably wanted to keep the price of the crv competitive.
Disappointing the engines they use now. The CR-V especially. Has issues with gas getting in oil. Ironic they make them in Canada because the 1.5Liter engine is so small, it cant heat up the cabin enough during the winter. And about the oil problem, Honda says every time you drive it, drive it at least 30 minutes with those being highway/interstate miles. Unacceptable! I rarely go on the interstate, mostly to the store or nearby work. Really sad, because the CR-V has the BEST interior I've EVER sat in. Bought a Subaru Outback instead because I can depend on the engine heating up the car and not leaking gas.
I recommend driving both I just drove both they both drive nice the hybrid gets a bit better gas mileage but the seat back is a little narrower then the gas option is so I am getting the ex-l just because the seat is more comfortable all the way around for me. That may not bother you specially if your a smaller person.
You got me excited for a sec I thought you were about to say they brought back the Honda table… big sad (guy who just bought a ‘05 CRV well disguised lemon 😭)
You should really take the time to learn these cars better. The whole point of your channel is reviewing cars yet every video I’ve seen of yours you get things wrong. How do you start right away with getting the trim level wrong? Lol
Are you sure that isn't the EX-L trim level? The EX doesn't come with leather seats, the wireless charger, or wireless Apple/Android stereo systems. You may want to correct that.
2023 EX-L... A big disappointment. Greedy Honda delted so many previously offered standard features including BSM. Fog lights, rear USB plugs, cargo area seat releases and more. They wint budge on rhe price. You can buy a CX-5 ( just as reliable a vehicle) with more features BELOW invoice.
That 1.5 ltr engine routinely blows head gaskets, and there have been reports of cracked cylinder heads as well. It's an engine people should steer clear of.
CORRECTION! This is an EX-L, not just a plain EX. The dealer did not give the owner the window sticker. My apologies!

Don't mind me asking what was the total out the door priceM I'm interested in one as well

How far the CR-V has traveled in past 26 years. Great review as always
What a great review! Just upgraded from 2016 to 2024!
Another great review Zack! I love how you humanize your automotive experiences through storytelling and friends and family!
"One of the siblings hit a house or something..." said so casually.
They come out of nowhere!
I love the looks of that, especially the front. & thanks Madison for the big friggin bottle test!

Two Good Positives To Mention Standard Remote Start And Automatic Down Windows On The EX-L.🙂
Good job... I agree with everything you mentioned .. And I like the traditional shifter better than the push button shifter too..
i love how one of them has one of each gen crv

Great video, answered all my questions. Headed to dealer tomorrow.
Great review, expected to hear this description of the CRV.
"Think one of them even hit a house" That settles it, I'm buying one.
The crv actually does have a third row offered in other markets. Although the usability is a bit questionable its there.

DRL are led. They can be turned off when parked if you apply the parking brake and restart the engine.
some are saying in the sport touring hybrid you can't lift up the back were the spare tire was but you can there is storage space by the battery.
Our 2019 and 2020 Santa Fe models have great rear visibility !
2nd row seats recline. Very important/ nice feature .
Thanks for your video! CRV is definitely a nice spacious car. I bought my brand new 2015 CRV EX and enjoying its 31 mpg so far.

I'd assume that not much (if anything at all) was changed for the 2024 model year, since the CR-V was just redesigned for the 2023 model year.
I thought with an AWD car you had to put the same size tire and wheel on when changing a tire. I’m assuming the spare is a compact, temporary use only tire. Is that likely to cause any problems for the AWD drivetrain. Thank you, I’m glad to have a spare.
I believe this trim is the EX-L. The EX comes with fabric seats.
Right and no automatic trunk door
You can’t get aluminum alloys in the EX trim in Canada. The fabric seats are very good and can outlast leather and they don’t crack over time. You have to get the black alloys on the EX trim in Canada of which I’m not a fan.
I just dont get why the new crv doesnt come with foglights
Deal breaker for some
One good thing I will say about Honda is they always have good tech
the wireless charger doesnt work well with iphones since the built in magsafe ring interferes with the charger
Adding oil between oil changes is acceptable on my 200k+ mi Mercedes but not on a newish Honda
Wondering how long did Braden has to wait for the CR-V to arrive in the current days of chip shortage?
My Honda dealership said there are no chip shortages at this time, so all the Honda Sensing is avail on the EX-L - as I inquired about that one. Check your dealer
@@admcmahon2 Thank you very much for the great news, much appreciated.

Only the non-hybrid trims.

@@tessm3420 I end up buying Mazda CX-5 lol because these honda dealer are greedy af with $7,000 markup
talk about that motor.
having worried about direct injection and carbon build-up now in ford ecoboost engines, why no mention of it in oher DI motors?
You got me excited for a sec I thought you were about to say they brought back the Honda table… big sad (guy who just bought a ‘05 CRV well disguised lemon 😭)
This is not a CR-V EX, it's an EX-L. Leather, seat memory, and 9 inch screen are not available on the EX.
which color is this?
Lunar silver metallic
You need a TV program.
Wireless charger doesn't work for me
You should really take the time to learn these cars better. The whole point of your channel is reviewing cars yet every video I’ve seen of yours you get things wrong. How do you start right away with getting the trim level wrong? Lol
Thanks.
how tall are you?
5’11
I believe it looks like a prototype. The rims don’t look like they belong on that car. The brand is great
Only 314 miles! Zack...what's the lowest number of miles you've ever seen on a vehicle you've reviewed?
I did film a car with 2 miles. I’ve done several dealer cars where I have more than half the mileage when I’m done, and I usually only drove 3-8 miles
The LX is back for 2024
I also kinda like CRVs
And showing 3 "kids" owning them is supposed to impress me in mechanics/quality/ knowing vehicles and relating experience?
Are you sure that isn't the EX-L trim level? The EX doesn't come with leather seats, the wireless charger, or wireless Apple/Android stereo systems. You may want to correct that.
We have the EX and it came with Apple car play.
Does it have ambient lighting ?
Engine concerns me
you said EX. It's EX-L
Car supar ❤
2023 EX-L... A big disappointment.
Greedy Honda delted so many previously offered standard features including BSM. Fog lights, rear USB plugs, cargo area seat releases and more. They wint budge on rhe price.
You can buy a CX-5 ( just as reliable a vehicle) with more features BELOW invoice.
Agree Honda treating consumers with contempt
Our 24 EX has rear seat charge points and BSM.
